My Girls, My Lovie

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Elizabeth, my Lovie, you have carried so much I still find my way home in the comfort of your touch Through every long December, every bill and broken plan You never had to wonder where I’d stand [Pre-Chorus] If the road gets hard and the answers disappear Put your hand inside of mine, I’ll meet you there [Chorus] You are the reason I keep standing tall My whole heart, my home, my all Zoe, Elizabeth, Isee, hear me when I say Nothing can take your safe place away When the world feels heavy and the night feels long Lean on me, I’ll help you carry on I may not have every answer, but this much will be true Everything will be okay—I’ll always come through [Verse 2] Zoe, I see your courage in the choices that you make Even when you doubt yourself, there’s more in you than fear can take Elizabeth, your gentle heart can change a room You bring a little patience wherever you move [Verse 3] Isee, my little light, I hope you always understand You never need to earn the love already in my hands And Lovie, if I’m quiet, it’s because I’m trying to be The kind of father and the man you all deserve from me [Pre-Chorus] If tears arrive, let them fall; you don’t have to hide I’ll be the steady ground beneath you, right by your side [Chorus] You are the reason I keep standing tall My whole heart, my home, my all Zoe, Elizabeth, Isee, hear me when I say Nothing can take your safe place away When the world feels heavy and the night feels long Lean on me, I’ll help you carry on I may not have every answer, but this much will be true Everything will be okay—I’ll always come through [Bridge] I’m proud of every woman you are growing to become Proud of every scar you hide, every race you’ve run And if someday you look back and wonder what I knew I knew my greatest blessing was standing in front of you [Final Chorus] Elizabeth, my Lovie, you’re the promise I came home to Zoe, Elizabeth, Isee, every breath I give belongs to you Let your hearts be brave, let your dreams reach high I’ll be in your corner for the rest of my life No matter where you go, no matter what you do There will always be a father believing in you I may not have every answer, but this much will be true Everything will be okay—I’ll always come through [Outro] My girls, my Lovie, if you remember only this You are deeply loved, and you are never alone I’ve got your back Always
